Letters to the Editor

About two years ago, I discovered my trailer, car hauler, had been stolen from my storage facility in Hurricane. I called the police, and just before they arrived, the thief showed up with my trailer in tow. He was preparing to take it to California to sell it. When police arrived, it turned into a two hour-plus he-said-he-said discussion.

Ultimately I got my trailer back, but the police refused to prosecute, so I contacted the DMV in Salt Lake. They were already looking at this guy for several other alleged thefts, but could not get the local authorities (county attorney ) to help with prosecution.

I did not talk to Brock Belnap, but I did get the run around from several folks in his department. I think this is an example of someone who has become way too comfortable in a civil service job that I am sure pays very well.

The case I had was cut and dry, and should have resulted in jail time for the guy who stole my trailer. Instead, I ended up spending a few hundred dollars out of pocket for repairs, and he is still out there and probably still stealing vehicles.

Nation’s priorities harming health, thoughts

You can watch the dozens of YouTube videos and see entire graduation classes being hypnotized into “zombies” in the “safety” of graduation lock down party! And your supposed to find this funny?

Seeing how the majority of people seem emotionless as they see hoards of illegal aliens swarm our southern borders with impunity and see our own government funding al-Qaeda, maybe most of us have been hypnotized through the media already. Seeing the lack of outrage by the majority of our elected leaders tells me that most of them are bought and paid for and could really care less that America is about to self-destruct.

But then, as long as your sports team or favorite NASCAR driver is winning, you are quite content about things. So keep consuming fluoridated water, toothpaste and mouthwash and dioxin-tainted liquids in plastic bottles! Keep that microwave-generating cell phone as close to your shrinking brain as you can. And of course consume as much artificial sweeteners as you can find.

And if you take enough of those cholesterol-lowering drugs you will pass into La La Land sooner that you think and not have to worry about anything. It will all be like a dream.
